A member asked:
Is atarax the only antihistamine that's supposed to help with anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the only one: There are a number of antihistamines that have also been helpful in treating acute anxiety. It would be best to discuss these options with your psychiatrist to find the right medication choice for you, as the sedation that often occurs with antihistamines can be quite hindering.
